No, just like most everything else in Indy.  Put() does not exit until
the transfer is fully completed, or an error occurs.

And the problem is...?  That is how it is supposed to work.  When
TIdTrivialFTPServer receives a request for a file, it triggers the
OnReadFile or OnWriteFile event to obtain the appropriate TStream
object for the file, and then reads/writes all of the file data until
finished, at which time the OnTransferComplete event is triggered.

That depends on how you are accessing the local files to begin with.
You have to make sure that you are providing your TStream objects in a
thread-safe manner.  If you have two clients accessing the same file
at the same time, that would be bad.

And in any case, the OnTransferComplete event handler is always
synchronized with the main thread.
